The coverage is in the details

Knowing the specifics of a insurance policy helps when choosing which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Listed below are typical coverages available from insurance companies.

Insurance for medical payments – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for short-term medical expenses for things like pain medications, EMT expenses, nursing services, chiropractic care and funeral costs. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Liability – This coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people. Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see values of 50/100/50 which means a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Another option is a combined limit which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability coverage pays for things such as repair bills for other people’s vehicles, legal defense fees, medical services, structural damage and funeral expenses. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things like vandalism, fire damage, hitting a deer, theft and hitting a bird. The maximum amount your insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.

Collision coverage – Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your New Beetle resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision insurance covers claims such as hitting a parking meter, hitting a mailbox, scraping a guard rail and driving through your garage door. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. You can also choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance – This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your Volkswagen New Beetle.

Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family. Frequently the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
